Students Organized for the Protection of the Environment

SOPE is a student organization dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and activism at Carleton and in the greater Northfield community. Every week we meet Wednesday night at 8pm in Sayles 251 for discussion and action while working towards our goal of helping to increase environmental stewardship and sustainability in the world around us.

The board of SOPE for Fall 2017 is made up of Emma Link '18, Sarah Ogle '19, Eliza Malakoff '19, and Caroline Hall '20

Pictured above: Carleton’s 1.65 megawatt industrial wind turbine—the concept and support for which came from students.

Our past projects have included Earth Week and Green Wars preparation and organization, Adopt-A-River, Green Bikes, composting, getting drying racks in the dorms, and collaborating with our peers across the state and the nation. We also send students to various regional and national environmental conferences across the country.
